Welcome

This May, the Alamo Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) will celebrate National Bike Month and active forms of transportation. Throughout the month, the MPO and our transportation partners will be encouraging people to walk, ride a bike, or take the bus as commuting options that positively impact the economy, public health, the environment, and quality of life in our community.

Bike To Work Day

Established in 1956, National Bike Month is a chance to showcase the many benefits of bicycling — and encourage more folks to give biking a try. As part of National Bike Month, the MPO will celebrate Bike to Work Day (BTWD) on Friday, May 17, 2019 and will participate in Bike Month activities throughout the MPO study area.

Bike | Beat

Bike | Beat is a one-day festival on May 18, 2019 and is dedicated to educating the community about life on two wheels, promoting a healthier, safer lifestyle and all the fun of being a part of the biking community. Bike | Beat is presented by the Main Plaza Conservancy, the Alamo Area Metropolitan Planning Organization, and SATX Social Ride.
